My 17 year old daughter recieved a court summons in the mail this weekend for "aid and abetting" theft. She flat out denies anything remotely related to the summons and has no clue what it could be about. The original ticket was written by one officer, for another officer (BR38 for LT27)?? The date in question was a school night so I am pretty sure she was at home with us. The address of the offense is of an old "guy" friend and his mother. I have asked my daughter a bunch of times if she is sure she did nothing wrong, only to bring her to tears because she feels I don't believe her. It is our intent to appear in court and plead innocent to the charge, simply because we have no clue as to what the whole thing is about. First of all, how can one officer write a ticket for another officer? Secondly, does a 17 year old need to be read their rights? Lastly, how can they write her up when she was never there??
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
